Install the Unit Into a Rack Enclosure

Install the CDM-840 in its assigned position in the rack enclosure (Figure 2-2). Use, as required:
•
A standard rack-mounted shelf;
•
User-supplied screws to secure the front panel to the rack enclosure threaded front
mounting rails;
•
Comtech EF Data's optional KT-0000168 (4") or KT-0000195 (10") Rear Support Brackets Kit
(Figure 2-3).
For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data Product Support.
CAUTION – CONNECT THE GROUND STUD, LOCATED ON THE REAR PANEL OF THE
UNIT, TO A POWER SYSTEM THAT HAS SEPARATE GROUND, LINE AND NEUTRAL
CONDUCTORS. DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT WITHOUT A DIRECT CONNECTION TO
GROUND.
SUFFICIENT AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED.
Make sure there is adequate air ventilation clearance inside the enclosure, especially
at the side. In a rack system where there is high heat discharge, provide forced-air
cooling with top- or bottom-mounted fans or blowers.
The CDM-840 CANNOT have rack slides mounted to the sides of the chassis. Cooling
fans and exhaust vents are provided here – air flow must not be impeded. Comtech EF
Data recommends that an alternate method of support is provided within the rack,
such as standard rack shelves or the optional Rear-Mounting Support Brackets Kit. If
there is any doubt, contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal
business hours.
